    Leave in the incubator and don't disturb so they can absorb their yolk without stress. We leave ours in the incubator until they have their first shed.

    I believe it's common practice to atleast leave the hatchlings in the incubator until they are out of their eggs. I've read breeders leave them together for their first shed as that's how it is naturally and some breeders have reported better feeding responses this way.

    Keep them in the incubator until they come out of their eggs, then set them up together in a 6 quarts or v18 tub using damp paper towel as substrate). Once they have their first shed set them up individually.
